The Real Heiress's New Family Adored By All novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Meeting the Mercers

Hallie loved messing around all the time, yet her parents were truly wonderful. The warmth and affection from the family felt totally different from the care she got from her cousins.

“Zora, you’re literally my lucky charm!”

Hallie had rushed out early to pick Zora up. The moment Leighton spotted her, he drove off and left them to themselves.

Right as Hallie walked over to Zora, her phone buzzed. She unlocked the screen and saw one million dollars had been transferred into her account.

The message told her to take good care of Zora and never teach her any silly nonsense.

She couldn’t help feeling delighted. Anyone who was this generous and always sent her cash was absolutely amazing in her eyes.

“Hmm?” Zora looked confused, able to tell that Hallie was over the moon with joy.

“I’ll take you out to have fun tomorrow! We can go anywhere you want!” Hallie said cheerfully.

Zora nodded in agreement.

The two girls headed back to the Sloan residence, where they stayed all alone.

Elara and Jeremy had gone abroad for a vacation a few days earlier and wouldn’t be back until the next day.

After tidying up their stuff at home, Hallie planned to get her hair done and enjoy a full-body massage in the afternoon, which would take quite a while.

Meanwhile, Zora needed to hand over the medicine to someone she had arranged to meet, and this was the perfect chance to do it.

“I’m gonna walk around nearby. Give me a call once you finish your appointments,” Zora said softly.

“Sure thing, call me anytime you need anything.” Hallie gently stroked her hair.

She had wanted Zora to get beauty treatments too, but she never forced her since Zora disliked those things.

“Got it.” Zora grabbed her small handbag and headed out.

She had already fixed a meeting time and place with the person who would pick up medicine via text messages. Following the navigation address they sent her, she made her way toward Lumina Café.

She had heard Hallie talk about this place before. Only wealthy and influential people could easily book a private room here.

They were currently in a downtown shopping mall, and the café was just nearby, merely a ten- minute walk away.

Zora took the elevator downstairs and followed the map directions.

Soon, the elegant and sophisticated café came into view.

With classic retro styling and exquisite carved decorations all around, it carried a quiet classy vibe.

Two grand stone sculptures stand guard at the entrance, striking and lifelike.

Amid the bustling downtown district, this place stayed surprisingly peaceful, with soft instrumental music flowing gently through the air.

A handsome man dressed in a dark, tailored suit was already waiting at the gate, glancing around constantly.

Zora’s petite figure showed up at the doorway yet failed to catch his attention. He never imagined that the apprentice of the mysterious Mr. H would turn out to be such a young teenage girl, so he kept waiting patiently.

Zora double-checked her navigation to confirm this was the right spot, then closed her phone and walked inside, heading straight for the front desk to ask about the private room.

“Excuse me, could you tell me where the Glimmer Room is?” she asked in her gentle voice.

The young man who was just about to step into the café heard her voice and turned his gaze toward Zora instantly.

She had a slender, petite frame, wearing a light green embroidered knit dress. Her long, soft hair was woven into a loose side braid tied neatly with delicate silk ribbons.

“Mr. Mercer, this young lady is looking for the Glimmer Room.”

The receptionist greeted Killian Mercer warmly the second he walked in.

Zora turned her head, and their eyes met.

Zora stared up at the tall young man standing before her. He had strikingly handsome, delicate features, sharp, well-defined facial lines, and his formal dark suit fitted his tall figure perfectly, making her tilt her head high just to meet his eyes.

Killian was equally stunned by her appearance. She had bright eyes, smooth skin, and refined

facial features, already showing extraordinary elegance even at such a young age.

A strange, indescribable feeling suddenly welled up inside Killian the moment he laid eyes on

Zora.

Zora realized this was exactly the man she had seen lingering outside the café earlier.

“Are you Mr. H’s apprentice, Ms. H?”

Killian pushed aside his odd inner emotions and took the initiative to speak in his low, soothing voice, filled with obvious surprise.

He had never expected Mr. H’s apprentice to be so youthful.

“Yes.” Zora nodded slightly.

“Please follow me, Ms. H.” Killian gestured politely for her to come along.

Zora followed him down the long, quiet corridor until they reached a private lounge at the far

end.

“This way, please.” Killian pushed open the room door for her.

The private lounge was extremely serene. Precious famous paintings hung on the walls, paired with fine porcelain ornaments and rare, elegant potted plants, and the whole room was filled with pleasant coffee fragrance.

Zora stepped inside quietly.

“Killian, has the guest arrived yet?” An elderly, weak voice came from behind the folding screen.

“She’s here, Grandpa,” Killian replied respectfully while walking in behind Zora.

Zora peeked past the screen and spotted a figure sitting in a wheelchair.

“Please take a seat, Ms. H.” Killian guided her to sit down.

Hearing their conversation, the elderly man slowly maneuvered his electric wheelchair out from behind the screen.
